Mahendra Singh Dhoni…Our Mahi, Captain Cool will probably play his last match today against Rajasthan at Chepauk, Chennai.

Today that time has come…Chennai Super Kings have won 6 out of 12 matches of IPL 2024 and to remain in the race for the play-offs, they must win the remaining two matches. In such a situation, this match against Rajasthan Royals in Chepauk is very important. If CSK’s challenge ends before the playoffs, then today’s match with MS Dhoni could be his last match at home
